"DAVY, HUMPHRY. - THE DISCOVERY OF THE ANAESTETHIC EFFECTS OF ""LAUGHING GAS""
Reference : 44095
(1799)
Halle, Rengerschen Buchhandlung, 1799, 1800. Without wrappers extracted from ""Annalen der Physik. Herausgegeben von Ludwig Wilhelm Gilbert"", Bd. 2. p. 483 (one page). and Bd. 6, pp. 105-115. Some scattered brownspots.
First German translation of Davy's announcement (the announcement on 1 page) of his discovery of the unusual, anaesthetic, effects of nitrous oxide which, on being inhaled, gave rise to a giddy, intoxicated feeling. On announcing his discovery he says, that he will publish a paper discribing the experiments with the gas, later. This is the paper offered here, also in the first German version. Both the announcement and the paper were issued in the ""Annalen"" the same year as they appeared in Nicholson's Journal.The gas was first synthesized by English natural philosopher and chemist Joseph Priestley in 1772, who called it phlogisticated nitrous air.""Following Priestley's discovery, Humphry Davy of the Pneumatic Institute in Bristol, England, experimented with the physiological properties of the gas, such as its effects upon respiration. He even administered the gas to visitors to the institute, and after watching the amusing effects on people who inhaled it, coined the term 'laughing gas'! Davy even noted the anaesthetic effects of the gas: ""As nitrous oxide in its extensive operation appears capable of destroying physical pain, it may probably be used with advantage during surgical operations in which no great effusion of blood takes place"".(Wikipedia).""Davy discovered the anaesthetic properties of nitrous oxide and suggested its use during surgiical operations, a suggestion which was not turned to useful account until 1844.""(Garrison & Morton, 5646, not mentioning the announcing of its discovery in 1799).
London, Colburn, 1831, un fort volume grand in 4 relié en demi-soie noire, dos orné de filets dorés (reliure moderne), 1 PORTRAIT DE Humphry DAVY, 15pp., 548pp., 1 planche dépliante hors texte représentant une note manuscrite de Humphry DAVY
---- EDITION ORIGINALE DE FORMAT IN 4 ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- RARE FIRST EDITION IN QUARTO FORMAT ---- "At the age of fifteen DAVY was apprenticed to an apothecary surgeon and two years later began to teach himself chemistry. Around that time he met James Watt's son, Gregory, with whom he conducted a correspondence. He was appointed professor of chemistry at the Royal Institution in 1802 and spent most of his career there. He was elected to the Royal Society in 1803 and was its president from 1820 to 1827. His first researches were into the nature of heat, which he believed to be motion, at the same time believing light to be a form of matter".

Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1811. Without wrappers. In: ""Annalen der Physik und der Physikalischen Chemie. Hrsg. Ludwig Wilhelm Gilbert"", Bd.9 (= Bd. 39 der Reihe), Neuntes Stück. Pp. 1-128. (The entire issue offered). Davy's papers: pp. 3-42, pp. 43-89 and pp. 90-100.
First appearance in German of these importent papers in the history of chemistry in which Davy announces his proofs of the elementary nature of clorine, describing the preparation, physical and chemical properties of a new gas, which he called 'euchlorine'. It is unstable and explodes on heating to give chlorine and oxygen. Davy here suggested the name 'chlorine', from a greek work for green, because of the greenish colour of the gas.Thorpe said of this first paper ""As a piece of induction, the memoir is a model of its kind, and as an exercise in ""the scientific use of ofthe imagination"" it has few equals.""Davy's researches on chlorine are of an importence with those on the alkali metals. Chlorine, first discovered by Scheele, was regarded by him as ""dephlogisticated muriatic acid"". As phlogistion was perfectly synonymous with hydrogen to Scheele, this view was essentially correct. Lavoisier, however, chiefly occupied with phenomena of combustion, assumed that chlorine was an oxide of an unknown ""radical"". avy performed many experiments endeavouring to confirm the presenceof oxygen and finally concluded that chlorine was an element.""(Leicester & Klickstein ""A Source Book in Chemistry"", p. 243 ff).
